Respectively, the first thing to do is to detach the battery connector from the motherboard. The battery is a 52.5 watt-hour unit. For removing the battery, you have to undo the three Phillips head screws that are keeping the battery in place. The battery capacity is enough for 11 hours and 7 minutes of web browsing or 10 hours of video playback. This is a good result. For storage, there is one M.2 slot compatible with Gen 4 SSDs. Due to AMD platform limitations, the slot is downgraded to Gen 3 speeds. The installed NVMe is protected by a metal shroud that has a thin thermal pad on the inside. The memory here is soldered to the motherboard. The maximum possible amount of RM is 16 GB of LPDDR4X, 4,266 MHz memory in dual-channel mode. The cooling solution has one big fan and two heat pipes.
